Just an update. After contacting numerous prop companies and researching other Triton 177 issues. I was in touch with Solas (World wide company makes props for everything if you don't know of them) and got a good explanation for my problems. Their engineering department is suggesting me to not go to a 4-blade, not a higher pitch prop but a higher diameter prop. From my 14.5 to a 15.6. Their comments, "You will have better bow lift and won’t have to trim so high eliminating proposing" and "You may lose 1 to 2 MPH as the RPM’s come down". Seems like a legit diagnosis. Dodn;t get a exact reason or understand why a diameter change will help. Let me know what you think. Thanks Matt
